Children Wallpaper

Children wallpaper covers full-scale, printed wall designs made for nurseries, toddler rooms, playrooms and early-reader bedrooms. This range includes storybook scenes, woodland animals, space adventures, dinosaur prints, world maps, watercolour florals, fairy woodland and soft pastel botanicals. Every design arrives with child-safe, low-VOC inks in peel-and-stick or paste-the-wall finish. Custom sizing ensures each panel fits your wall exactly, whether you have a narrow box room in a London flat, a high-ceilinged Victorian bedroom in Bristol or a modern semi in Birmingham.

Children wallpaper murals for calm, story-led rooms

Children wallpaper murals work best when the print feels considered rather than busy. A single feature wall behind the cot or single bed gives the room a clear focal point. The remaining three walls can stay in oat, chalk white or soft sage, which keeps the space restful for sleep and quiet play. The prints in this range lean toward illustration and watercolour: hand-drawn woodland animals, soft storybook scenes, gentle world maps and pastel florals. That style suits ages newborn to around eight and ages well as the child grows. Children's mural wallpaper in this calmer register also pairs naturally with the light wood cots, cane furniture and cotton bedding that most UK parents choose.

Storybook and woodland animal styles

Storybook scenes feel warm at night and cheerful by day. Woodland animals, rabbits, foxes and owls in a soft forest setting work particularly well for gender neutral nurseries where parents want a print that holds its appeal across several years. Watercolour washes soften the wall in low light and photograph well for family memories. 

Children's wall murals UK: Boys rooms, Girls rooms and shared spaces

The children's wall murals UK buyers choose most often fall into a handful of clear themes. Boys rooms across the UK gravitate toward space, dinosaur, adventure and safari prints. A galaxy mural or a prehistoric forest scene gives a young boy something to explore from his bed. Girls rooms tend to draw toward fairy woodland, pastel florals, botanical garden and unicorn prints. Our girls room wallpaper mural collection and boys room wallpaper mural collection keep these themes separate so browsing stays focused.

Shared children's bedrooms suit gender neutral choices: world maps with illustrated countries, cloud and sky scenes, or simple alphabet prints that both children engage with equally. The range steers clear of branded characters, which means the print stays relevant long after the current trend fades.

Playroom and reading corner murals

Playrooms call for slightly bolder prints than bedrooms. A safari scene, a jungle canopy or an under the sea mural gives children a world to play inside. Reading corners work better with a calmer backdrop: a storybook tree, a soft floral or a gentle woodland scene sits well behind a bean bag or a low bookshelf in a Bristol terraced house or a Manchester terrace.

Where to place children's mural wallpaper at home

Most UK families put the mural on the chimney breast or directly behind the bed. In a narrow box room in a London flat, one accent wall opens the space rather than crowding it. In a larger family bedroom in Birmingham, the mural can anchor a reading chair or a play mat corner. North-facing rooms suit warmer prints with peach, butter or soft coral tones. South-facing rooms hold cooler sage, sky blue and pale aqua scenes better. Low ceilings look taller with vertical tree or map prints. High Victorian ceilings in period homes across Bristol and Edinburgh carry full-scale storybook or forest murals with ease.

Feature wall planning tips

Measure the wall in centimetres before ordering. Note the ceiling height on both sides, since older UK homes vary by a few centimetres from corner to corner. A custom-sized mural removes the need for heavy trimming and keeps the seams clean at the skirting. For chimney breast walls, order the panel width to the exact breast measurement for a neat finish at each corner. If you are unsure, our how to measure guide walks through the full process.

Custom children's wall murals: install, finish and care

Custom children's wall murals arrive in numbered panels and install without specialist tools. The paper base hangs smoothly, resists tearing at the seams and does not soak through during a paste-the-wall install. Peel-and-stick is self-adhesive and lifts off cleanly, making it the right choice for rented flats on an assured shorthold tenancy across UK cities. Paste-the-wall is the longer-stay option for owned homes. Both finishes align panel to panel and trim neatly at the skirting and ceiling. The surface is wipeable: light marks lift with a damp microfibre cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid bleach and abrasive pads near the print. The breathable paper base and low-VOC inks keep the room safe for newborns and young children. If you have any questions about which finish suits your wall type, our paper types guide covers all options clearly.

Renter-friendly and washable finish

Removable wallpaper leaves walls clean at the end of a tenancy, which protects the deposit on most standard AST agreements. The washable surface handles sticky fingers, felt-tip grazes and light scuffs in a busy family home without the print dulling over time.

Choosing the right print for every age and theme

Newborns respond best to low-contrast, gentle shapes. A soft cloud, a simple watercolour animal or a pastel botanical scene is enough in those early months. Toddlers begin naming animals and letters, so alphabet charts, animal prints and world map murals earn their keep from around eighteen months. Early readers enjoy detail: maps with country names, space scenes with planets labelled, or storybook forests with hidden creatures to spot. Our toddlers wallpaper murals collection focuses specifically on this transition age with prints sized and styled for the cot-to-bed move.

A parent choosing a print for a baby in a Leeds flat can pick a woodland scene that still suits a five-year-old. A grandparent in Bristol can select a floral watercolour that holds its appeal for several years without feeling babyish. Self-adhesive children's wallpaper murals also make house moves easier: the panel lifts off cleanly and can re-stick to the new wall in your next home. For additional inspiration, our kids wallpaper trends guide covers the latest themes for every age group.
